Multiple sources confirm that Jason Stanley wrote Erasing History: How Fascists Rewrite the Past to Control the Future, published by Atria/One Signal in 2024. The claim's dropped qualifier ('most recent book') is faithful to the passage, and the only variation is a minor imprint label on the author's site (One Signal Press), which does not change the core assertion.

This claim is in the show notes, the publisher's own words. It counts against the post, once.

What we found

Supports. A 2024 LA Times book review names Jason Stanley as author of Erasing History, published by Atria/One Signal, 256 pages.[1]

Supports. The Whatcom County Library catalog record lists Stanley, Jason as author, with publisher Atria/One Signal and a 2024 publication date.[2]

Supports. A Global Asia book review names Jason Stanley as author, published by Atria/One Signal Publishers in 2024.[3]

Supports. Stanley's own website lists Erasing History among his publications with a 2024 date, and a Harvard.com book listing identifies Jason Stanley as author with publisher Atria/One Signal Publishers.[4][5]

Context. The podcast passage itself describes the book as Stanley's most recent, but the passage is the claimant's own words and is used only to resolve the referent, not as corroboration.
